The Church of Peace in Świdnica
the largest timber-framed religious buildings in Europe were built in the former Silesia in the mid-17th century. Constrained by the physical and political conditions, the Churches of Peace bear testimony to the quest for religious freedom and are a rare expression of Lutheran ideology in an idiom generally associated with the Catholic Church. Built outside the city walls, made of wood or clay and built in less than a year, now placed on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites.
Zamek Ksiaz w Walbrzychu
Admission included90 min
Książ Castle
the third largest castle in Poland, located on a majestic rock cliff by the side of the Pelcznica River. Beautifully surrounded by the forest at the height of 395m above sea level, the castle is often called ‘the Pearl of Lower Silesia’. Such location corresponding to the size of the building is very rare in Europe. In 1943 Hitler’s paramilitary organization had stormed into the Castle and began to construct one of the most important quarters for Adolf Hitler.
Palmiarnia Walbrzych
Admission included30 min
The Wałbrzych Palm House arose from the initiative of the last representative of the Hochberg dynasty in Książ Castle, Hans Heinrich XV. The Prince had it built for his spouse, Mary Theresa Cornwallis-West. It is the only such facility in Poland that has been preserved in its original construction.
45 min
Świdnica's Market Square - very charming place that is a must-visit. Renovated, colorful townhouses with Gothic relics, beautiful fountains, including a well with Neptune from 1732, and impressive lighting awarded in competitions make quite an impression.

A must see.
This was an amazing site to see. The history, the beauty the fate. The tour of the castle is self guided with audio head sets. The guide that drove spoke in English and Polish and pointed out many sites along the way and shared much history. The only down side was missing the underground tunnels. That was not included in our tour.

Castle was worth the visit, but this 'tour' is really just transport
The tour itself was great and the castle very pretty, and the story of the family interesting, but unfortunately the tour company 'missed' my booking and we where left waiting at our accommodation for an hour before I called them. Once we made contact we needed to wait another 30mins for a call back before being asked if we could do the tour the following day due to their mistake. Luckily this was possible for us, but it did mean that we missed other holiday activities and opportunities due to it being a Sunday and our late start to the day after sorting everything out. The tour was also mostly just transport and then we where left to do the activities ourselves at each location while the drive waited in the car.

Thank you, Jacob!
Jacob was extremely knowledgable about historical and contemporary Poland. He was flexible with our group when it came to the timing of our stay. We would love to get a tour from Jacob again. Thank you!

Just a driver not guided tour.
From the start things didn’t go well …. Due to circumstances out of our control we had to change our accommodation. We provided our new address/ pick up point at least 7 days prior to the tour and guess what ? ….. they went to pick us up at the old address, so our tour was delayed about 1/2 hour. We were picked up by a private car which looks like the interior needs a good clean. Driver was friendly but was only a driver not a tour guide. This was unfortunate for us as we received no local knowledge or history of the region. He literally drove us to the destinations and bought the tickets for us , however time was wasted as tickets were not purchased ahead of time and driver had to stand in line to purchase tickets while we waited ….. we could of done this our selfs. Something we have never experienced before on a tour , we were given no time to meet back at the car which would be fine if it was just us , the problem with that is that if you have other people with you either you will be waiting for them or they will be waiting for you which happened to us. After saying this, The Church of Peace was beautiful and so was the Castle. Unfortunately for us Palmiarnia wasn’t anything special. In the description of the tour they mentioned Osowka - underground city made by Nazis but this wasn’t included in our tour , you will have to buy ticket by yourself. It would be nice if we were told this at the start of the tour. If you want to be driven from point A to point B with out any information this tour is for you.

Worth every zloty!
Jarek was our guide for the day. He arrived promptly and was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a great day from start to finish. The Church of Peace was a real surprise and well worth a visit to see this amazing structure built from oak and wattle and daub.
Next was the Underground City code named Riese meaning giant. A phenomenal piece of unfinished engineering that was Hitlers final venture. It was chilling imagining the number of forced Labour men and women brought in to get this project off the ground. Fortunately our audio guides were excellent but the Polish guide very unfriendly. It was so well hidden in the mountains. Quite amazing.
We wanted to visit the Bhuddist Monastery at Darmskow but heavy snowfall made the road to the monastery impassable. Nonetheless we had an absolutely breathtaking ride though the snow lined forests. A magical journey.
Thank you Jarek for a truly memorable day.

Fascinating insight to the Lower Silesia region
Booked a private day tour for myself and my wife. The guide was very friendly and the tour was in a spacious 9 seater minibus. All locations were fantastic to see and have a huge history behind them. Bring a good camera.
Only downside was visiting the Complex Osowka, where the small group tour was by audio guide in English or by a person speaking only in Polish. If there was an option to pay extra for an English guide, I would have, given the history of the place as the Polish guide appeared to have a wealth of knowledge we could not tap into.
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Wroclaw.

Great Tour
Picked up and dropped off on time, easy transition to and into the 3 destinations and audio tours for the castle and underground 'city.' Entertaining driver with a running history and current news on the local area.
